I think I found a goldmine in this walnut tree. In this one we discuss how much this walnut is really worth as is. Keep in mind that local markets do vary and a finished product will sell for more. Black Walnut is one of the most valuable woods we have in North America and yet it is a common tree throughout much of the northeast as well as the southern states. Once these logs are all done on the sawmill we will be building a solar kiln to kill the insects off and hopefully get these walnut slabs drying before there is any more bug damage. The last log was filled with grubs in that giant hollow spot so it would be a good idea to kill them suckers off before they destroy a lot of hard work. A kiln is what you need to accomplish this so I guess it's time to get one built.

we live in an 90 yr old Juglans Hindsii (Northern Calif Black Walnut) orchard/ Real "Claro" walnut. So I bought a 22" woodmill. I have milled 4 trees and have around 2000 bdft. I show the wood on my channel. Soon I'm milling up a 21"dia , 12ft long tree. Milled 200bdft of limbs, it's dark chocalatey color. Orther tree is orangey an other is cappacino, browns, reds. Another has olive greens and browns.... it's all forsale if the reader wants some. Sutter Creek Ca.

Jim I was just thinking about it before you said it. You young man is getting big. I was thinking back to last time he was really in the video out working with the cattle. That is a very nice pile of wood your resting on. One way to get a bit more hear. some black poly pipe laid out on some black painted wood and a small pump to move water and let the sun heat it up and blow air through a small radiator into the kiln. Just use a thermostat ytoo turn the pump off when the water has cooler down in the evening. That should add some heat to what ever you get from the building/

So I'm sure you know already the 120° has to be maintained for 48 hrs as I understand. If you're having issues holding the heat because of sun light fading you may want to heat it overnight. I would wait until you get below 30 percent moisture for that. But that's just me. Always great videos, it will be interesting to watch your kids thoughts change about them the older they get. Enjoy it. Thanks for sharing
@TheTradesmanChannel 5 жыл бұрын
It has to heat through the entire mass to kill larvae and eggs. That's also the magic number for setting pitch in wood. As you can't dry it out too fast and the wood needs to rest in between drying sessions then the normal sunlight hours hopefully will work just fine until the last phase of drying.
@oldschool6345 5 жыл бұрын
@@TheTradesmanChannel yes I agree. I'm sure you're a good study on it. Lotta guys don't realize the length of time and total penetration of the heat is critical. 1 cool spell in the middle can leave live bugs even though it gets down in moisture. 1 or 2 nights with a salmander or other heat source can make the difference sometimes. I'm curious to see how you set up the kiln. Thanks for sharing

@@shanek6582 There's a real balance to be found between drying too slowly (risking mould development) and drying too quickly which can cause case hardening which makes it a bit of a nightmare to work with in the shop. Each species behaves a little differently, and depending on how sophisticated your kiln is, it can work differently depending on the weather etc. It's an art unto itself!

@@shanek6582 It's my understanding that it's still very possible to dry too quickly with a solar system mated with DH. The wood usually has some time to "relax" over night, but you still need to do your homework and make sure things don't happen too quickly. If you're looking to kill bugs, you don't necessarily have to kill them on your first day in the kiln. You can wait a while till the lumber is ready to take a big hit of heat.
